Apple is expected to unveil its new iPhone models on September 9. This time, however, the focus will likely be even more on AI software than usual.
Apple is expected to present its next iPhone models in two weeks. The company is inviting people to a new product event on September 9th at its headquarters in Cupertino. At the September events, the next generation of the Apple Watch computer watch is traditionally presented alongside new iPhones. Apple itself is keeping quiet about what to expect until the end.
The iPhone is by far the company’s most important product and generates around half of its revenue. It is also the basis for selling other products such as earphones and subscriptions to various services.
Traditionally, the new iPhones get faster chips and a better camera, among other things. According to information from the financial service Bloomberg, fundamental changes in the design are not expected for the iPhone 16 – but the more expensive Pro models could get larger displays.
The camera button could be placed on the right side of the housing under the on/off button, the magazine wrote. The button should respond to both pressure and touch and make handling the camera easier in horizontal mode.
According to the magazine, there will be no other visual changes to the new iPhone models other than the additional button. Rumor has it that the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max will just be slightly larger than the previous versions.
According to the report, the company also wants to bring the devices, called AirPods 4, onto the market in two versions: an entry-level model and a slightly better equipped and more expensive version of the earphones.
The most obvious difference: Only the mid-range model of the AirPods 4 is said to have active noise cancellation – also called Active Noise Cancelling (ANC). According to Gurman, both devices have a similar design.
This year, Apple also wants to equip its devices with more new functions based on artificial intelligence than before. However, some of these will not be available in the EU at first. The company points to legal uncertainties caused by the digital law DMA, which sets out rules for large platforms.
